October’s Hunter Moon In Aries, Ashwini Nakshatra

Ashwini is ruled by the Ashwini Kumaras, the divine twins and physicians, and symbolized by the horse. So it gives quick healing, swift medicine, renewal of energy, fresh beginnings.
As the first Nakshatra in the first sign of Aries, a fire sign, Ashwini sparks a passion to repair, an impulse to renew, a fire to restore, energy to burn stagnant cycles.
Ashwini also represents the pre-dawn, carrying the sun towards the day, this full moon carries immense potential to light a new way.
With the Sun in Libra between retrograding planets Venus and Mercury, this Full Moon shines a bright light on relationships, negotiations, our need to give and take, and any hidden imbalances between personal independence (Aries) and external partnerships/diplomacy (Libra).
Culturally and spiritually this Full Moon is associated with the showering of divine nectar (Amrit) from the moon, and devotion to Goddess Lakshmi. Under the full moon tonight you might whisper, OM Shreem Mahalakshmyai Swaha 🪷

What in my body or routine is asking for care?
If the ashwini kumaras were my physicians, what would they prescribe for me this month?
What medicine does life have for me now? Be it food, herbs, mindset, heart truth, rituals?
What conversation or negotiation do I need to have now? What do I want from it? What am I willing to offer?
Where do I say yes when I mean no?
Where do I protect my independence when closeness would serve me better? Or vice versa?
With Mercury retrograde in Libra, what agreement, relationship, or conversation deserves a second look?
What nourishes me, in food, rest, relationships, and work?
What am I ready to receive?
What does abundance mean to me beyond money?
What am I grateful for this season?
